JAMES DAWSON.
Subscribed and sworn to before this 9th day Of
October. 1857. HORACE b. SMITH.
Notary Public.
Dawson is Democrat He has an applica-
ton on file with the Police Commissioners for a
position on the police force in which he statsss
as is required, that he is Democrat
This dastardly assault upon the character of
candidate who has been scrupulousy consist
ent with the platform of law and order and his
official record of the past two years is akin to
the system of bribery, false counting, repeating,
and possible repetition of forgery arranged for
by the gang. As the canvass nears its end, the
schemes of Coy and his followers il the interest
of Edenharter show more and more the straits
into I'M which decent people have driven them
The gang has not lost hope of success, for it's
confidence is based on what can be accomplished
to- morrow in direct purchase of voters and
other PRACTICES, that will bring them within the
cognizance of law, the forgery of tally
sheets did last fall Wheresover money can
be applied with any chance or Sc
curing an advantage. the gang will
looms have been prodgal in their supply of the
dollars, all of which can traced to Coy for he is
not only boss. but the distributor of the corrup-
has pulled out on several occasions recently,
when in the midst Of political leeches, could be
given to the public, its contents would show the
proof Of votes purchased. That is dangerous
record for some mon, for Coy never makes
deal without making a memorandum of it.
At late hour last night Coy. in conversation
with Journal reporter, dsclAmed any respon
sibilty in the matter of circulating this Islander,
and said that neither he nor the Democratic
executive committee wished to be placed in that
position.
James Dawson, the hack-driver who makes
the affidavit printed above stated to Journal
reporter last night that Miller came to him dur
no had given information of the attempt made
to influence him. and told him to drive him
(Miller) to the Democratic commttee-roome.
which he did. Arriving at tho door, Miller.
Dawson says, told him to wait minute and he
would be out, and went up the stairway, reap
pearing few minutes later with Sim Coy. Coy
told him that he wanted to talk to him minute
privately. They walked to the horses heads,
and Coy said 'Davson, l hear that Gale
Denny wants to see you. If he asks you any
thing just keep your mouth shut and say
nothing Underestimate" To this Dawson answered
that he thought he knew how to manage his
own business. Coy then asked how much his
charge was for the trip. Dawson replied that
he made no CHARGE whereupon, he says. Coy
handed him two dollars and re-entered the COM
mttes headquarters
Tomorrow the decent citizens will only half
do their duty by voting. They must watch the
polls, for it il there where the gang will seize
many an advantage in swearing in illegal voters,
pushing forward repeaters and crowding the
gangways to the polls unless the people are ex-
tremely watchful 1t developed yesterday
that Coy and others of bis gang will spend to-
day in finding out who the Republican chal-
lengers to be in the southern wards. If
they think they do safely purchases in
that district will be attempted This is to be
supplemented on the ght of the election. after
the vote is counted. by efforts have Demo-
cratic judges get control of the tally But
with all their show of confidence, Coy and his
followers cannot conceal the fear of defeat.
If every good citizen votes tomorrow there need
be no trouble about Mayor Denny's election.
